From Audi:
"Visual accentuation of the knee pads and armrests in the doors, including stitching in the colour of the seat upholstery; the material of the interior elements underlines the high-grade character of the vehicle interior"

Basically an extended leather trim (although I've read it's not real leather) that looks like this.
I didn't know what it was at the time of ordering, but if ordering again I would get it. That said, there's nothing wrong with the standard interior (below).

I fall to peer pressure!
This always annoys me, the RS models have perforated wheels, thats part of the RS badge. So the s-line has half perforated which is what I have now but I'm getting S3 which is all smooth leather.
Why the S line and not S3! Should have been other way round.
Never understand this!
Yep, but I'm not complaining as an S-line owner
- definitely one of the best looking and feeling steering wheels on any Audi model.

Yeah that's the only thing I'll miss really! s3 still nice wheel but I do like the preferated! Especially the full preferated!

Same here. I have the S-Line so I'm happy

The new TT steering wheel I am sorry to say makes every other current Audi steering wheel look dated. Hope that gets added to the facelift
Agreed but they are always bringing new and better kit with technology rapidly improving so the next one will be out with an even better wheel! U cannot keep up! I don't imagine they would change it that much for a facelift but could be wrong
I have sline but find the perforated wheel a little rough. Would prefer the smoothness of full leather every time.
I sort of agree but looks wise I prefer perforated. I think full smooth can be a tad "slippy" at times
Think the A1 / A6 introduced the current Multi-function steering wheel which was a massive step up on the old one (which just had two buttons and volume controls) in 2010 which you see in the last gen TT and current R8. The A5/A4/Q5 all had the current Multi-function steering wheel added during their facelifts so would have thought if the new TT wheel is the new style then it will roll out on the new A4/Q7 and then face lifted models thereafter. Every 4 years seems to be the rule of thumb so not that often......
The new TT wheel I think does not do anything different to the one we have in the A3. It just looks better and has some nice metal details.
Q4 2016 or early 2017 for A3 facelift I reckon - every 4 years usually. Whole model change every 7/8 years it appears with Audi. I'll be waiting to get the RS3 after the facelift.
Good example - A6 launched 2011 and face lift goes on sale early next year. A4 launched 2008, facelift 2012 and whole new model to be launched middle of next year with sales starting end of next year early 2016.
If the new Q7 and A4 get the TT steering wheel then it will go across the whole model range in time....

I love the S3 steering wheel - you will love it too when you get yours. Promise!
Don't think it looks that much different than the current A3 one.
I love my S-line wheel, its nice and fat and love the perforated parts
Agree with u, not the end of the world, u just wonder why they do it the other way round. Still looks good!
The TT is pretty cool I must admit, and ultimately where all models will be heading towards!
